Just bought my son one of these for Christmas. I know it's been posted before but it seems to be by far the best value for money remote control helicopter available from any of the major retailers and well worth a heads up for anyone looking for cheap stocking fillers or presents for nephews / grandchildren.

The RRP might say £39.99 but you'd be lucky to get this for any less than £30 elsewhere so a good £12 saving at least!

Don't forget 4% cashback too.

Description

The RC helicopter Gyro Apache lets you take remote control flying to new levels.

The super responsive and stylish RC Helicopter Gyro Apache is at the cutting edge of remote control flight. With a 3 channel control system and an innovative sleek, stealth like design, flying has never been so easy or precise.

Unlike previous generations of helicopters, this is a three-channel system with Advanced Gyro which means that the helicopter can be flown with complete control. Left - Right - Up - Down - Forward - Backward - Hover

The RC helicopter comes with an auto-balance gyro system; this responsive helicopter is super stable and goes exactly where you want it to, so you won't face the problem off flying of track! The Gyro Apache includes the ultimate in precision control and handling and has the kind of features you would usually associate with bigger RC helicopters with a hefty price tag!

The Gyro Apache is simple to charge either with USB or via the remote control. With a full charge this beauty will fly for in excess of 8 minutes. Very robust and can certainly handle a few crash landings within reason.

To enhance its sleek and stealth look, the helicopter has one white LED light on the front, perfect for those night time flights.

The Infra Red on these doesn't work well in sunlight, and they're too light to use in the lightest breeze. Otherwise yes! :P
